Aneury Rodriguez has agreed to a contract with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization.

Rodriguez had an ugly 6.60 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 92 2/3 innings this past season at Triple-A Oklahoma City -- an affiliate of the Astros. The 25-year-old would have had to settle for a minor league deal state-side. Mon, Dec 17, 2012 08:13:00 PM

Rodriguez allowed just two earned runs in a spot start for the Astros earlier this season, but he probably won't get another look in the big leagues this summer. Sat, Jul 28, 2012 04:59:00 PM

Aneury Rodriguez pitched well in his season debut against the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing just two runs on two hits over six innings of work.

Rodriguez struck out six and walked two in the game. His stamina still isn't where it needs to be, as he was limited to just 78 pitches on Tuesday, but he may have done enough to earn another start down the road. The right-hander was optioned back to the minors after Tuesday's game. Tue, May 8, 2012 10:40:00 PM

Aneury Rodriguez is expected to be recalled to start for the Astros against the Marlins on Tuesday.

The spot in the rotation had previously belonged to the now-injured Kyle Weiland. This will likely be a one-time thing for Rodriguez, but there's always a chance he could make a favorable impression by pitching well and manage to stick around. Sat, May 5, 2012 10:12:00 PM

George Springer will be examined within the next two weeks to see how his fractured right wrist is healing.

Springer has already missed four weeks of action and it sounds like he might be out longer than the six-week timetable that was given. The outfielder has been shagging flyballs and staying active, but he's "not doing anything really with his right hand," according to Astros manager A.J. Hinch.

Peacock suffered an intercostal strain in his first start and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since. He was close to coming back but suffered a setback during a rehab appearance on June 11. Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija should be available if the Astros choose to upgrade their starting rotation at the trade deadline.

Samuel Deduno will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right hip.

It's a labrum repair. Deduno was told in early June that he could probably avoid surgery, but the injury wasn't healing quickly enough on its own. It's not clear what the future holds for the 32-year-old right-hander.
